Cut some sunny branches that are growing normally and have begun to lignify from healthy bougainvillea, and cut them to a length of 7-10cm. Then use a knife to cut off the bottom edge and remove the leaves below it. After that, insert it into loose flower soil 4-5cm deep, then put it in an environment of about 20℃ and wait for roots to take root.

1. Prepare the matrix

1. Prepare the substrate

Bougainvillea cuttings need to use a loose substrate, which will make it easier for it to take root. Specifically, you can prepare one part vermiculite, one part perlite and one part peat soil, and mix them thoroughly to use as a substrate for cuttings. If you want it to take root faster, you can also mix some small pieces of slag into the substrate.

2. Cutting cuttings

Cut some sunny branches that are growing normally and have begun to lignify from a healthy mother plant, and cut them to a length of 7-10cm. Then use a knife to bevel its bottom end so that the cross section of its bottom end is at a 45° angle to the branch. Then remove the lower leaves, leaving only the top 2-3 leaves. After that, soak its bottom with rooting water.

3. Make cuttings

Put the prepared flower soil into the seedling container, and then insert the cuttings into it. The depth of insertion is best controlled at about 4-5cm. Then, pour some clean water into the soil, moisten the flower soil, and then move it to a location with scattered sunlight for a short period of time, and maintain a temperature of about 20°C. After a while, it will take root and become viable.
